Fig. 3D. 72-year-old woman with known ostearthritis in right hip who
presented to emergency department with acute exacerbation of pain and
inability to bear weight on right hip. SPECT images were determined to be
compatible with femoral neck fracture. MR images did not show fracture.
Patient is still being followed up at our orthopedic clinic for
osteoarthritis. Another image from series of SPECT images (four slices from
C) reiterates continuous band of increased uptake (arrows)
across femoral neck, suggesting uptake traverses depth of femoral neck. This
was interpreted as nondisplaced femoral neck fracture.
